Only if no LaTeX is found it installs MiKTeX. Since you had MiKTeX installed there cannot be a difference. The configuration of MiKTeX is always the same. We cannot do anything if virus programs detect false positives. Nevertheless, I created a new installer that should avoid the LaTeX problems reported by some users: http://ftp.lyx.de/LyXWinInstaller/LyX2.3.0/ Please test and report back also if your virus software (update its virus definitions before) again finds something. regards Uwe

Emile, can you please do me the favor and: 1. uninstall MiKTeX 2. install MiKTeX using the latest MiKTeX installer: http://ctan.space-pro.be/tex-archive/systems/win32/miktex/setup/windows-x86/basic-miktex-2.9.6615.exe Does your virus scanner shout? thanks and regards Uwe
